776 Coyote Peak - June (4, Cont.) in an open glade at edge of timber. Their ears & tail were constantly moving & keep deer flies away. One appeared to be buck with mushroom antlers. There seems, from evidence + reports, to be much hunting all year round. Same Warden ranger informed us that natives were killing many deer all the time and violations were so frequent that no attempt was made to apprehend the offenders. Several times at night (near midnite) an auto has driven along our side road with spot lights playing on woods. Local shepherd informed us that this was "jack- lighting" deer at nite - a common practice.
